Cut it down to about 2" then tapering it and burrying it. Cheers :)

Made two of these. Covered brummel i2i out of HRC

Non life support, we'll see how it goes, it's only a foot tether for my hand ascender.

It is. Spare part. Use it to quickly slap it on the carabiner on my hand ascender that's in there real good with a grommet

And another.

3.5" 6mm stainless steel rope with the ends rounded over and with two layers of double wall heat shrink to encapsulate it

I personally do not like the splice and don't do it for customers. Will do it for friends who are insistent but would not do it on my own ropes. It is a personal choice. The splices patent does not specify a brand or exact diameter of cordage acceptabe, but a range if memory serves correctly. I...

Have a look at a large fishing store. Might have something you can use.

Yupp. Where it looks whipped i taped it then removed the tape when done. The core was 12 strand. 12 strand round braid is very easy. I didn't bundle mine, not sure what the strength diff would be if any

Also did a couple lifelines, i think the tachyon is quite pretty.

Its like doing an eye with a cover...that sounds dumb now im reading it. So. Measure the burry length. Pull core. Milk and mark exit on core Measure eye length from core exit. Pull core but not out completely. Pull crom tail end to get a loop sticking out Milk standing length, loop will get...

Burried separately. I dont want the cover interfering with the core. Jacket is just for abrasion resistance and UV protection. The internal brummel eye is larger than the final eye allowing the cover to burry and extend inside covering the brummel eye beyond the throat ensuring the core isn't...

Modded rope guide The tether was from a failed splice my boss did (small eye) the jacket on the eye had bunched up on him and the crossover bunched up. Waste not want not, pulled his splice, got it taught and burried it, then did the spring loaded soft eye on the other end.

Interesting. First attempt on arrow frog with 50/50 reduction gave a smaller diameter, went with leaving extra strands in and got a constant diameter. A friend i gave instructions to also left extra strands in on cougar blue with good results. I do think it's going to vary greatly from cordage...
